Map description: Long before the birth of the Seventh Dragon, the Empire of Shantiri existed. The six most powerful mages of the Empire formed a Council. When they gathered together, they could accomplish the impossible with their boundless magical power. One of the wonders that arose from their unity was the island of Meosharan, the majestic capital of Shantiri. All peoples – humans, elves, dwarves, nagas – found their place in the city, surrounded by mountains instead of fortress walls. But prosperity came to an end when the war between the Angels and the Faceless began, the War of the Ancients. The creations of Elrath did not want to share Askhan with anyone else, so they began to destroy Shantiri. When only ruins remained of the cities on the mainland, an army of angels headed towards Meosharan to put an end to the Empire…

This map is a mod, so it is recommended to delete it after completing it, as it affects other maps. Incorrect operation is guaranteed if you have maps installed that contain bosses (e.g., "The Tale of Igor's Campaign," "Between the Hammer and the Anvil," "The Hand of Fate. Part 2: Despair"). A complete list of changes can be found in the ReadMe file in the map archive.
From the author: As always, I would like to hear your feedback on the following criteria:
1. Plot (especially the final videos).
2. Design.
3. Gameplay (difficulty).
Enjoy the game! ;)
Version 1.01 available on 06/16/2013 18:55. Now, the correct video plays when talking to Ara'Dorn.
I couldn't beat the final boss – the Faceless happily wipes out almost the entire army, leaving nothing to fight the boss with.
Guys, I understand that you have always played at a difficulty level no lower than "Veteran". My comment is only about the fact that the "Recruit" difficulty level does not match the battles on this map. In my opinion, it's somewhere between "Warrior" and "Veteran":smile04:
I tried it on "Hero" - the result was 90 days, 4479 points, "Thunderlord".
In principle, it can be improved further - in particular, I forgot about the Tear (I dug it up 3 weeks later), and I was hoping to buy a quiver in the shops - but it turned out well even without it.
There's a small nuance here. Is the Faceless Friend and the Faceless Enemy the same hero? I might be wrong, but I'll still write it. If you test the Faceless Friend at the end, right before the Ritual begins, you can drain all his mana... and the guy will come out with zero mana against you. I might be wrong. If so, correct me.
